  • BOB SEDERGREEN: the INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson*
    BOB SEDERGREEN: THE INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson* _______________________________________________________ [This interview appeared in the December 1981 edition of Jazz Magazine] ver the last decade, I have had the pleasure of hearing pianist Bob Sedergreen play on many occasions: with vibist Alan Lee, with a succession of bands led O by Brian Brown, as the focal point of the Ted Vining Trio, with Onaje, as the wild card in Peter Gaudion’s Blues Express, providing fairly heroic support to visiting stars Jimmy Witherspoon, Phil Woods, Richie Cole and Milt Jackson, even solo. I have always enjoyed and admired his playing for its unflagging swing and qualities of joy, resourcefulness and commitment, and his determination to take chances at all times in search of inspiration, which he seems to find more frequently than most. He has long impressed me as a jazz musician who often plays ‘above himself’ because he has the courage to do just that. Bob Sedergreen: the sum total of his music is pure Sedergreen… In the last few years, he has continued to increase the scope and depth of his playing, and his confidence in it, to the point where he is obviously one of the best musicians in Australia. We have too few others who can so consistently be so exciting, original, inventive, surprising and enjoyable. __________________________________________________________ *In 1981 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 I won’t try to describe his playing. As with any really good jazz artist, his playing is a reflection of his listening and playing experiences, and his own personality.

Blessed — or cursed — with them, the artist stands apart, adopts a critical stance, and T inevitably comes into conflict with his or her artistic environment. The conflict may out of sheer frustration cost you an ear (Van Gogh), thrust upon the artist a self- protective cloak of stark eccentricity (Monk), or in much less dramatic fashion — in the case of Ted Vining —manifest itself in striving to create an environment for change. The desire for change — allied with a deep commitment to strenuously push jazz forward as an evolving art form — are obviously deeply embedded in the Ted Vining personality. But change, the drummer will tell you, is not what the Brisbane jazz scene — in Vining's terms, the jazz wilderness — is all about. Says Vining: "Brisbane is a jazz wilderness because many people feel lost here. The lost feeling comes from ___________________________________________________ *In 1983 when this was written, Neville Meyers was a librarian, jazz collector, part-time jazz programmer/announcer on Brisbane's 4MBS-FM, and veteran habitué of jazz clubs in Australia and the United States. 1 critically looking at the musical environment, noticing a lack of professionalism, and seeing in many of its musicians on stage, lack of reason for being there."

    Associate Professor Robert Burke Curriculum vitae 2018 Personal Details Full name: Associate Professor Robert Louis Burke Current position: Convenor of Jazz and Popular Music Department/ Monash University School/ Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts Correspondence address: 14 Albert St Caulfield North 3161 Email address: [email protected] ABOUT In 2002, Rob Burke instigated, launched and is currently the Convenor of Jazz and Popular Studies at Monash University (Melbourne Australia). Rob recognised an unfulfilled need in Melbourne's jazz academic landscape, established its course curriculum and provided a clear pathway for musicians to develop their proficiency and aptitude for their academic and performance outcomes. His background as a classically educated musician also enables him to traverse many musical genres and he is in a unique position to speak to students and colleagues about their requirements/concerns and provide balanced outcomes. His ongoing research focuses on issues relating to how we respond to improvised jazz: artistically, critically and personally. His work includes studying the processes and outcomes of music participation and music listening. An internationally acclaimed performer and composer, Rob has released 12 CD's under his own name and has composed and performed on a further 300 CD's. His sensitive and balanced perspective has allowed Rob to traverse many different styles and this has, in part, been expressed as collaborative performances with international leaders in classical, jazz and experimental music. His embrace of many genres of music and the clear expression of his diversity in his role as an educator, researcher and performer, has given rise to a vibrant dialect that resonates through his students and also his performances.
